I just copy here what I put on gamefaqs yesterday asside from a troll I didnt get any replies. Hopefully here I have more luck
a year or 2 ago I found a verry weird item. Its hard to explain what it is exactly but it has 2 cd's with thrailers promo material etc.
it has to do clearly with the this is living campaign about the time of release.
however I cnat find ANY information about it nr find it on ebay etc
so I hope some people here can either tell me something about it or tell me who to reach out for to hopefully find more. I dont even know if its part of soemthing bigger or just is complete
I realy hope to be able to get some more information about what I have here. I was considering putting the videos on the disc on youtube but since I dont wanna risk copyright claims thats not an option anymore.
anyway hopefully I cna finaly solve this mystery
here are some pictures of the product

I don't have any additional concrete information, but it certainly looks to be a press kit for Europe's This Is Living campaign. This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2azwoY7E8U) seems to be a part of a 2008 press kit, so, if you've still yet to see what's on the disc, I imagine similar kind of content—promotional videos, game trailers, latest PlayStation 3 system highlights, PlayStation Network information—to be found on the disc you own.

I want to know if its complete or not and more stuff like that

Wowgek?

Do you remember me, old pal?
It's me PunishedSonicSpeed but now with a way better nick, I am happy for finally see you again.
I hope you can find what you are looking for.
-
I do remember you lol it has been quite a while and yeah I dont realy post here normaly and I hope I cna learn some stuff about this thing as well it annoys me to no end to dont relay know anything aboutit
-
There was a group of users who knew a lot about press kits on Assembler, but I do not know where the prominant users from that forum ended up. :(
-
maybe 1 or 2 of them are here
-
it has been a long time since posting this but wanted to give an update
sadly I wasnt able to find out anything else about it I reached out to metal jesus but not entirely unexpected I never got a reply which realy sucks
anyway I am giving up I have no ideas anymore what I could try to find out more.
so unles anyone here has any ideas I give up.
I do want to thank everyone who gave advice tried to help etc

Honestly, I don't think a personality like Metal Jesus would be that knowledgeable regarding an item like this. However, that did make me consider two others on our site for you to ask, although they aren't that active on the forums. VGC user psxlegacy (https://vgcollect.com/psxlegacy) has an impressive PlayStation collection and even made a thread (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,10978) before hoping to find other avid PlayStation collectors. At the same time, cirdan77 (https://vgcollect.com/cirdan77) is a big PlayStation 3 collector, in particular. You may have luck with these two, but, from just looking at their collections and having responded to their edit submissions in the past, their focuses regard retail releases.
Also, as mentioned in the thread posted before, there is another resource I can suggest, that being Jason at Game-Rave (https://game-rave.com/). Although he seems more knowledgeable regarding the original PlayStation library, he may still have some information to give or, at the very least, be able to better point you to someone else for answers.

what metal jesus is concerned he has verry little knowledge himself about almost everything he does have however a big network and that was what I was hoping for.
those users here might be an option I am gonna reach out to them I dont have much hope but its the best chance I have and even a smal chance is still a chance.
gamrave isnt an option I feel you send me a link but his site has no contact options so I have no wya to reach out to him.
I might look into that a bit deeper though because there are probatly other ways for that I have to look into that
edit: reached out to both users now lets hope:)

I have no idea how to get a hold of her. But YouTuber LadyDecade specializes in incredibly rare gaming items. Might be worth a shot to reach out to her.

yeah I found some stuff like that as well but it doesnt real tell anything usefull asside that it was the ps3 slogan in europe when the ps3 released and I already knew that part
-
ok I reached out to gamerave and he had some good ideas.
first off the ebay poster turns out to be part of a set there are actualy 10 different ones. no idea if they have to do with my thing but it has to do with the campaign so there is an decent chance its related.
another idea he had was that I download the iso from that black disc some people and me find and look trough that maybe I learn something from that. I dont have high hopes since that one is from australia but you never know
I am gonna do that later today when i have some more time if I learn something new I will be sure to update
-
wel final update
thanks for the tips and advice everyone I realy mean it sadly it didnt realy help to learn anything new so this time I have to close this for real
-
dang it has been this long already? oh wel I was asked to put an update on gamefaqs but couldnt find the topic back so itold him I would do it here.
not much of an update though
I didnt find anything more out.
also I dont own it anymore. this thing was realy special to me and I would never sell it I gave it away instead. probatly better in his hands anyway because I never realy deserved an special and unique item like that anyway.
so thats how it is the update I promissed sorry its nothing usefull
have a nice day everyone
